Intermittent Blank Space on Episode Details Page

[erricgunawan]

Description

Users occasionally experience excessive blank space at the bottom of the episode details page. This issue has been observed across multiple podcasts, including "The Waveform Podcast" and "The Besties."

The bug seems to be triggered when swiping to the details pane of the currently playing episode. The problem is intermittent and can sometimes be replicated by minimizing and reopening the player screen multiple times.

Expected Behavior: The episode details page should consistently display the correct length of content without any excessive blank space at the bottom, regardless of how many times the player screen is minimized or reopened.
